________________ Tattvārthasūtra āhārakacatuṣka and the Lordship - Tīrthakaratva, exist in some. The remaining subtypes of karmas must exist in all. With the rise in spiritual stages - guṇasthāna – the causes of bondage of karmas are annihilated (kşaya), and the karmas bound previously are dissociated (nirjarā). With utter destruction of all karmas, the soul gets liberated; it attains liberation (mokşa). Liberation implies complete destruction of the material-karmas (dravyakarma), quasi-karmas (nokarma), and psychic-karmas (bhāvakarma). The worldly soul is with bondage of karmas; it is thus dependent from a certain point of view. The same soul, on utter destruction of all karmas, becomes independent. This explains the liberation (mokşa) of the soul. Is liberation (mokşa) attained on destruction of material-karmas (dravyakarma) only or psychic-karmas (bhāvakarma) also? औपशमिकादिभव्यत्वानां च ॥३॥ [च] और [ औपशमिकादि भव्यत्वानां] औपशमिकादि भावों का तथा पारिणामिक भावों में से भव्यत्व भाव का मुक्त जीव के अभाव होता है - et GIAT And, liberation (mokşa) is attained on destruction of the dispositions (bhāva) like the subsidential (aupaśamika), and the capacity for liberation - bhavyatva. Liberation (mokşa) is taken over from the previous sūtra. The capacity for liberation - bhavyatva - is included in the sūtra in order to exclude the other dispositions due to the inherent nature of the soul - pāriņāmika bhāva. Thus, on disappearance of the capacity for liberation - bhavyatva - among the pāriņāmika bhāva, and also other dispositions like the subsidential (aupaśamika), liberation is attained. (see sūtra 2-1). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 410
